The Democratic tide is rolling in - happy days are here again

Democrat....Republican.... no difference...both are more interested in power, money and campaign contributors ($$$) much more than they are actually interested in the voters and/or the average citizen of the USA....

so meh...6 to one half a dozen to the other.

Thou hast to mean when they Discover all of Hillary's connections?

They are all Puppets of the show. to agauw the Audience and are nothing but deceit... omitting maybe Putin. he seems beneficial to Russia

No, I mean exactly what I said. Clinton has no ties to Russia. She might be a puppet of corporations but being a puppet of a foreign power is much worse and I think it should be obvious enough why.

However a lot of Democrats are now running on anti corporate campaigns or at least coming out of the woodwork and there is a surge of reform in the party. It started back in 2008 and then Sanders passed on the torch (although he was fighting that fight for decades). It's still got movement for large chunks of the liberal and democratic voters.

Trump's campaign though clearly by now has some ties to Russia. And even if he himself was ignorant of what people were doing in his campaign he's acted very guilty about it throughout the investigation. It's plausible to me he's just an idiot and not very guilty of collusion. However he's acting like he either was involved in that, or was part of a cover-up when discovering it. I'm surprised there isn't more comparisons to Watergate, actually.

So I've already seen the first hysterical "Oh Noes! Muslim Shariah take over!" comments about this guy ->

That guy looks Sikh though, which is part of the joke I take it? Not that there isn't a bunch of people stupid enough to believe that...

See my earlier post ect. It's not all bad eggs and there is a reason to vote for people who will change something. The way the system is set up now, they WANT us to have that attitude you say and give up in apathy. But there is still enough mechanisms in place to change things. The American Founding Fathers were very wise in foreseeing things like this, and made the system robust to withstand a lot of trauma.

They are an amazing but oft misunderstood group. Theologically, they're very open and have respect for other faiths, and their food is fantastic, let me tell ya! Shows my priorities aye.

I've been to several of their functions as I had some students who're Sikhs. And what's funny is that my wife has taken two religious compatibility tests, and Sikhism showed up #1 both times-- and she's very devout Catholic. Go figgur.

I work with quite a few Sikhs, and they are all very friendly. I don't know a great deal about their religion, but I once had to go to a Sikh temple for work, and I had trouble leaving, they were so insistent that I stay for a meal. They seem like a genuinely good group to me.

I have the utmost respect for the founding fathers, but one of them was very much against political parties, George Washington, and I agree with him. Once poitical parties get involved people start voting for whats best for the party over whats best for the country and after over 20 years of working around a lot of politicians I can say there are very few that think much beyond what's best for the party. I see very little difference between Democrat and Republicans these days..... two things, by the way, that did not exist when the founding fathers were around.
